This posting is a simple explanation of what this blog will try to accomplish:

• Firstly, I will write a series of postings about using Python and IPython in the ECE courses I teach: signal processing, probability, and statistics. Most of the posts will be on simple topics, suitable for beginners. Most other bloggers focus on elite programmers; my intention is to help the students.

  Of course, sometimes there will be posts on elite topics.

• Secondly, I'm writing a textbook (Probability, Statistics, and Random Signals) using LaTeX and Tikz (for graphics). I'll post some examples of how to create graphics using Tikz.

• Thirdly, I'll post about some fun topics, mostly sports like golf and baseball. After all, life is about more than just work.

• Finally, I will occasionally post essays about current events (issues, not so much about the people). Spoiler alert: most of the people for whom I vote lose.
